It was configurable by "--with-confdir" option. The directory /etc/fonts/conf.d was pointed by ${confddir} make variable, it was hardwired to be ${confdir}/conf.d by conf.d/Makefile.am. This ${confddir} make variable was invisible for configure script, so it was not configurable. It seems that the location of fonts.conf could be hard-to-find for Mac OS X users, like the discussion in, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41720642/where-does-homebrew-install-fontconfigs-fonts-conf But I'm unsure whether the developers working with Mac OS X want pkg-config to inform @confdir@. To decide the way "incompatible-but-better-naming" or "compatible- but-confusing-naming", what I can contribute? One of my ideas is that crawling all configure scripts (from MacPorts? from Homebrew?) of the packages with build-dependency to fontconfig and count how many packages checks @confdir@ value from fontconfig.pc. If there is no, changing the definition of "confdir" might be considerable idea. It's easy for me to make a list of the packages with build-dependency to fontconfig on Debian and its derivatives (*), but I'm less familiar with MacPorts, Homebrew etc. If it's important, please let me spend more time, I'm quite sorry. (*) curl -s http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/source/Sources.xz | xz -cd | sed -n "/^Build-Depends: .*libfontconfig1-dev/p" | wc -l returns 96, so the number of Debian packages to be checked is less than 100, if the database is complete. >> Daniel Macks reported this confdir was a bug, and corrected to @baseconfdir@ (2012). >> https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/fontconfig.pc.in?id=ebd5096abc495550596861b6af2aae067e861553 Before this commit, there was a commit https://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/fontconfig.pc.in?id=e181ab4de5d20fe1f70e68f66ef8332553eba206 It replaced "--with-confdir" option by multiple options, "--with-templatedir", "--with-baseconfigdir", "--with-configdir" and "--with-xmldir" to configure related directories with more fine granularity. Because of the removal of "--with-confdir" by this commit, Daniel submitted his patch to replace missing @confdir@ by new @baseconfigdir@ as follow-up action.
